Rear parking sensors / Reversing 
camera
When reversing, these systems detect and 
provide a warning for any obstacles located 
behind the vehicle.
Stop & Start
This system puts the engine temporarily into standby during stops in the 
traffic (red lights, traffic jams, etc...). The engine restarts automatically 
as soon as you want to move off. The Stop &  Start   system reduces fuel 
consumption, exhaust emissions and the noise level when stationary.
Temporary puncture repair kit
This kit is a complete system consisting of a 
compressor and sealant cartridge, to allow the 
temporary repair of a tyre.
Zenith windscreen
This large windscreen provides incomparable 
visibility and light in the passenger 
compartment.

Trip computer, a few definitions
Range
(miles or km)
The distance which can still be 
travelled with the fuel remaining 
in the tank (related to the 
average fuel consumption over 
the last few miles (kilometres) 
travelled).
Current fuel consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated over the last few seconds.
Average fuel 
consumption
(mpg or l/100 km or km/l)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
Average speed
(mph or km/h)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
Distance travelled
(miles or km)
Calculated since the last trip 
computer reset.
When the range falls below 20 miles (30 km), 
dashes are displayed. After filling with at least 
5 litres of fuel, the range is recalculated and is 
displayed when it exceeds 60 miles (100 km).
Distance remaining to 
destination
(miles or km)
This is the distance remaining to be 
travelled to the final destination. It 
can be entered by the user.
If the distance is not entered, dashes 
are displayed in place of the digits.
Stop & Start time counter
(minutes / seconds or hours / 
minutes)
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & 
Start, a time counter calculates the 
time spent in ST
oP m
ode during a 
j o u r n ey. 
It resets to zero every time the 
ignition is switched on with the key.
If dashes are displayed continuously 
while driving in place of the digits, 
contact a CITR
oËn
 dealer or a 
qualified workshop. This value may vary following a change 
in the style of driving or the relief, 
resulting in a significant change in the 
current fuel consumption. This function is only displayed from  
20 mph (30 km/h).
